"This album combines blues swing and fast southern rhythm and blues into a message of alacrity for life and friends, a lauded cheer for traditional blues, which is hard to miss when Neal wails with vibrato on his harmonica".
" ... his voice sounds weathered and life-tested; his guitar and harmonica playing also bespeak a care and craftmanship won through hard-earned maturity ... Long acknowledged as one of the blues' most versatile and eloquent craftsmen, on this disc he proclaims his arrival as a master storyteller".
